I remember in 1978 the first time I saw The Pat Metheny Group on TV, I was absolutely mesmerized, it didn’t sound like anything I had ever heard before, and here were these guys who looked like a rock band, playing jazz.

I have Pat Metheny with Lyle Mays on vinyl, very hard to find now. He is phenomenal. He plays some wild guitars too.
